A scalloped embroidery on deep red velvet features two winged angels with golden halos flanking a shield-shaped cream banner with black and gold script. The left angel wears a beige robe with red trim; the right wears pink. Large wings in white and silver threads spread across the background. A gold border with repeated floral and diamond patterns frames the composition, outlined with metallic thread and fine stitching.
